Create foreign
connection factories

A Foreign Connection
Factory contains the JNDI name of the connection factory in the remote
JNDI provider, the JNDI name that the connection factory is mapped to in
the local WebLogic Server JNDI tree, and an optional user name and
password. The foreign connection factory creates non-replicated JNDI
objects on each WebLogic Server instance that the parent foreign server
is targeted to. (To create the JNDI object on every node in a cluster,
target the foreign server to the cluster.)

To configure a foreign
connection factory, follow these steps:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).

In the
Administration Console, navigate to the foreign server resource that
you want to configure:

Note: The User Name,
Password and Connection Health
Checking are only used when the foreign factory is used
inside a resource-reference in an EJB or a servlet,
and when the Container mode of authentication is
used.

After
modifying these values, click Save.

To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes. Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
